Focusing on installations in museums, galleries, and private collections, Louise Lawler investigates how we, as viewers, perceive art. Perception often deviates from intention; context is all-important and is reexamined, illuminated, and rendered more complex on various levels. Divided between the ground floor and first floor, CORNERED features two new large-scale in situ vinyl installations that engage in dialogue with other recent photographs.
Louise Lawler photographs not only the artworks themselves but also their surrounding spaces and details, such as labels, furniture, and lighting. By doing so, she explores the relationship between art, exhibition spaces and viewer, and, in CORNERED, particularly within the context of the gallery. Lawler offers a profound reflection on the art world, challenging traditional notions of art perception for all everyone concerned.

This exhibition can be seen as a large assemblage that reveals itself to the viewer in a fragmented and layered manner, like an urban landscape, featuring a series of black and white photographs, murals, and free-standing sculptures. The installation highlights her focus on the physical aspect of the body and on the inherent materiality of objects.
'Une assemblée’ ('an assembly') is a group of people gathered in the same place for a common purpose. Like all social constellations, they interact with each other and with time and space. Constructed from this principle, the exhibition can be perceived from any angle, with no definitive starting point, beginning, or end. Unclassifiable bronze and ceramic forms are suspended from the ceiling or scattered on the ground. Resembling apparent prostheses or parts of a construction kit, these minimal and enigmatic objects define the gallery space as a terrain with distinct focuses on the north, east, south, and [removed];
Additionally, the exhibition features a new photo series depicting electricity poles in an anonymous rural context, reflecting the lines of arbitrage and desire within our society. The physical edges of the exhibition space are marked by linear ceramic elements, where the sculptures blend into the murals, suggesting a new, oblique alphabet.
